Author's note: This is my first fan fiction and my first romance story so sorry if it's bad. I'd really like reviews so I know what you people think about what I'm doing.

Disclaimer: I do not own Thor or any other characters from the movie…sadly. I'd love to own Thor, Loki and Fandral.

I woke up all was normal. Outside was the dreary little city of Magdalena, New Mexico. I walked out of my room, down the hall and to the bathroom. I got my shower then went downstairs for breakfast. Most of my day was pent helping my genius sister Kensi with her science research.

After I finished eating I took my dishes and put them in the dish washer. I walked over to Kensi who was writing something on a paper. "Remind me again how you convinced me to help you find something that probably isn't real."

Kensi sighed and looked up from her paper "I didn't. You found the rumor that there could be someone who has been to other worlds. You had to talk me into going on this wild goose hunt."

I went through my memory of the past year or so then mumbled "Oh yeah." before saying "About that. I've got a meeting about it today at four."

Kensi gave me a confused look and asked "What happened to you not meeting what's-his-face."

I shrugged and said "I don't know. He just called and told me he needed to actually talk."

Kensi looked back at her paper and grunted slightly "So where are you meeting?" she asked as she worked.

I sat down getting tired of standing and said "Elephant Butte Lake State Park and yes I know it's nearly two hours away from here."

Kensi sighed "If you get caught speeding you're paying for the ticket."

I smiled and asked "Now what makes you so sure I'll get caught speeding?"

Kensi smiled a bit and looked at me "What happens if you're right about this?"

Hmm tricky question.

No it isn't.

It isn't?

Not really.

Then explain it.

It's simple if you're right you can get to Asgard and anywhere else if you're wrong then you just lost everything.

Well you're comforting.

Hey I'm you.

Meh. Kensi snapped her hand in front of my face snapping me out of my thoughts "Hello? Earth to Mandy."

I smiled slightly and looked at her "If we're right our life changes if we're wrong we find a new life here in Magdalena."

Kensi nodded and told me to run to run to the store and get some stuff for her. That's most of what I do to help her. Just run stuff to her and buy equipment when needed. It's pretty easy. Normally I ride my motorcycle sometimes though I have to take her truck. Honestly though we both like it better when I ride my bike. She doesn't trust me with her truck. Probably cause I totaled my truck the day I got it but that wasn't my fault. A deer jumped out in front of me and in my attempt not to hit it I hit another, bigger truck.

At three thirty pm I finally got to do what I want. I had a meeting with an anonyms contact at four. Bad think is it's in a city park fifty minutes away. Fifty minutes legally anyway.

The reason if the meeting is about my sister's research. She's trying to figure out how a bifrost, like in Norse myth, works.

My contact who has refused to tell me his name or actually meet me until then. My guess as to why he won't tell me his name, what we're doing is dangerous. For some stupid reason though I told him my name.

So anyway he's asked to meet me to talk about how Kensi's work ties into rumors. Rumors about Loki, the Norse god of mischief, being here on earth. I'm not the best when it comes to Norse myth but I know Loki is trouble.

Kensi has her part of the job that is more practical and logic based whereas I'm a more radical thinker. The only way we can keep going is because Kensi gets us the money we need. Sometimes though I think I'm getting all the answers. I can only get them however with the help of my contact. Nice right? I gotta rely on someone else for my job.

Knowing I might be a little later I called him and told him. I straddled on my motorbike and kicked it to life. I grabbed my helmet from the handle bar and tugged it on and fastened it tightly. I backed out of the garage and sped off down the road. I'd been down those roads enough to know where the speed traps are so I didn't get caught speeding. As I drove I thought about what Erik might say. Was I in danger? If I was how so? Did he find out I'm not with S.H.I.E.L.D? Maybe nothing's wrong. In fact maybe something good has happened. Then again he might not want to help anymore…

Will you stop being a pessimist?

No. It's way easier to be a pessimist than a optimist.

That's my point.

How's that your point?

Ugg you are so slow.

I know.

Anyway my point is it may be easier to do one thing you need to do the other.

So basically do the do whatever my brain says?

Yes because I'm your brain and I know everything you know.

That ain't happening.

Oh come on! It would be fun!

No! I like doing what I want. Not what my brain wants.

But your brain controls you.

No I control me.

But you are your brain.

What are you even doing in my head weird voice.

I'm you.

But I'm me.

Yes but no.

Ugg. Just explain what he might want.

Well what'd he say in the phone call?

Umm…He said he needs to meet me at Elephant Butte Lake State Park at four pm to talk about Loki.

Well there's your answer. He wants to talk to you about Loki.

The rest of the drive went on like that. Arguing with my brain. When I got to the park I pulled off my helmet and hung it on the handle bar. I stepped off my bike and stuck the key in my pocket then ran to the rendezvous point. It was a small clearing in the park. There were some trees but not many. There was a man standing by a wooden bench. I couldn't really tell who it was but I could tell he was who I needed to talk to.

You cannot imagine what went through my head upon seeing my contact up close. His name is Erik Selvig, the same guy who met Thor. When he saw me walking up to him he smiled and said "Mandy it's good to finally actually meet you."

I smiled back politely and asked "Am I late?"

He looked at his watch then at me "One minute."

I nodded to myself Not to bad I thought as I said "You wanted to talk."

Erik nodded "Yes. I've told you the rumors that Loki, Thor's brother, is here on earth. They aren't just rumors. They're true."

I licked my lips which had grown suddenly dry "Wait he's actually here? How do you know?" I asked.

He sighed and indicated to the bench for me to sit down. I did so at the same time he did. He looked off into the distance and said "I wasn't going to tell you yet but I've known for quite a while. I've met him Mandy."

I laughed nervously "You know Loki? How?"

Erik shrugged "If only I knew. It's rather confusing. I am however still unsure of why you even want to find Loki or why you need my help."

I kicked a rock and said "I just heard the rumors that Asgard might be real and Loki would know how to get there. Kensi was working on making a wormhole anyway so this just gives me a reason to really help. Any girl determined enough with a genius sister would try to get there. Wouldn't they? As far as wanting your help…I just figured anyone else would be to busy or a Fed."

Erik nodded "Fair enough."

I shivered in the cold winter air and pulled my hands in my sleeves as I looked at the darkening sky. Winter means short days. Me gone after dark equals freaked out sister. "I had better be going. We'll talk again later." I told Erik before leaving the park and riding home. Well that was interesting. I'm not real sure if it was good or bad.

You know it doesn't have to be good or bad. It could just be informing.

I know but I'd like to decide if it's a good or bad info.

Meh whatever.

I parked my bike in the garage and ran in after hanging my helmet in it's normal place on the handle bar. I got in just before the sun set completely. "You're late!" my sister yelled from upstairs as I walked in.

"No I'm not!" I yelled back as I hung up my coat.

Kensi walked down and stood on the bottom step. "Who's your friend?"

I gave her a crooked smiled and said "Erik Selvig."

She laughed slightly "You're joking right?"

I shook my head "Nope."

Kensi took a moment to process the thought then nodded and asked "Wanna play Call of Duty?" I nodded so we walked into the living room and started playing.

I won, as usual. I don't know why she still tries. She is getting better though. We played a few levels then Kensi and me just lounged around not talking or anything. We sat there in awkward silence until I laughed a little. Kensi looked at me curious about why I laughed. I looked at her and said "All this time that I've been helping you by finding out what I can from Erik I didn't even think that the only people who could know that are S.H.I.E.L.D agents or him, Jane and Darcy."

Kensi nodded. "Why didn't he tell you his name to start with?" she asked as she stood up to get a snack from the kitchen.

Well the main reason is it's dangerous.

But why?

I guess cause…he knows we're right and could figure it out. Oh my gosh! This is dangerous because A if S.H.I.E.L.D finds us we're done for B if they don't and we do figure it out then the Asgardians might not be friendly to us or worse we find the wrong place and the people there kill us. I looked at Kensi as she rummaged through the fridge "He didn't tell his name because either S.H.I.E.L.D would find us and take our stuff or we succeed and get killed by whoever we find."

Kensi stood up strait and said sarcastically "Well that's comforting."

I smiled "Yeah but let's not be pessimistic. Say we are right then we get to move to Asgard."

Kensi scoffed as she scooped some ice cream out of a tub and said "I'm gonna hope we move to Asgard."

The rest of our night continued taking and just relaxing until about eight when we cleaned up our games and snack dishes. It felt almost like we'd had a party but that would have been a lot more trash. It was a quick clean up so it didn't take long to get to bed. Getting to sleep well that's a different story. I laid there in bed not being able to sleep. So honestly if we get to Asgard what do we do?

I don't know.

You're the one who knows everything.

I only know what you know.

Then how come you come up with all the brilliant ideas?

I don't you just think I do because you are talking to me but I'm you.

Now I'm confused.

Good.

So either way if they don't try to kill us then we do what?

Enjoy the view?

That's great, I'll travel all the way to Asgard for the view.

Hey I'm doing my best here okay? I'm low on sleep. Why don't we continue this in the morning?

No we're doing this now.

Ugg.

Oh shush.

If I do you won't get your ideas.

Brain quit being stubborn.

I'm only as stubborn as . We still don't know what we'd do. Wait am I saying we?

Yes you are. My say in this is wing it. Just go with the flow.

Isn't that what get's people killed?

Only if they aren't smart and you've got me so you're good.

Who said you are smart?

Um you did?

No I didn't!

Yeah ya did. You said I come up with all the brilliant ideas.

I- that's not funny. You're turning my words against me.

Hey I can so you can too.

Hmm…this will be fun.

Oh no. What have I done?

You just told me what I'm capable of.

Well at least I didn't tell you you're a good liar. Oh crap.

You need to watch what you say.

Yea I do.

Now what happens if things go bad?

Wasn't Erik saying something about knowing Loki?

Yea.

Well maybe Loki can help.

Do you really think I will meet Loki?

You never know.

I suppose not but it's still not very likely.

That's what you said about Erik admitting he knows anything about Thor.

I had to make a fake ID to make him tell.

So? You still did it. Plus you're good at lying.

I know, you told me that already. In either case they may not approve of Loki.

Grr you have a point.

Yes I do.

Umm in the case they don't I'd say hope that the fact that you're friends with Erik will save you.

For the next hour or so I laid in my bed debating what could happen and what to do.

Fun fun fun. It was three am when my phone started ringing. I grumbled wondering why someone would be calling at three. I looked at the phone to see Erik's number. As tired as I was Erik doesn't call for no reason, specially at three am. So I grabbed my phone and answered it with a drowsy "Hello?"

I could hear Erik breathing hard as he said "They're here. Take your sister and meet me-" the phone cut off with a beep. Crud I'm in trouble I thought as I tumbled out of bed and got dressed.

As soon as I was dressed I went to Kensi's room. On the way in I flicked on the light. "Kensi get up. We gotta go."

She groaned and looked at her clock. "Mandy it's three am. Where could we need to go?"

I yanked her blanket off her making her shiver as I said "Erik called and said we need to leave." She sighed and got up. It was all to clear she didn't like me telling her what to do. But who would like your little sister telling you what to do? With her up I went downstairs to pack a bag of food. At the time I didn't know we'd need it.

Just as I zipped up the backpack Kensi walked down the stairs. Without a word we walked out to her truck. She let me drive since she thought Erik had told me where to go and she was still half asleep so she probably couldn't drive anyway. A few miles down the road Kensi asked "What did Erik actually say?"

I glanced at her then back at the road "He said we needed to meet with him."

Kensi nodded "Did he say where?" I nodded as we drove in silence. Technically I wasn't lying, he had said where but the phone line got cut.

It took us a long while to where I guessed I should go. To our luck I had been right. Standing alone leaning against a van that was parked by a crop circle was Erik. I stopped the truck by it and grabbed my bag as we got out. Erik looked better than he had sounded. His hair was a mess but I couldn't really tell anything was wrong. His breathing was still a little hard as he said "Good you found me. I'm sorry the phone cut off before I could tell you where to go."

Kensi shot an annoyed look at me but I ignored her and asked "You said 'they' are here but who's they?"

Erik sighed and said in almost a whisper "Frost giants." I'll admit it, I was quite shocked. I took a moment trying to get my head around the thought then something clicked in my head. How did they get here? The bifrost was destroyed. Erik must have seen the look of confusion on my face as he said "My guess is they rebuilt the bifrost." I nodded slightly as I went through my thoughts on all this.

As I sorted through my thoughts I looked at the sky. The clouds were swirling and growing darker by the second. I licked my lips as normal when I'm nervous and asked Erik "What's going on?" Erik and Kensi both looked up at the now black clouds.

Erik looked back at me "Remember when I told you I know Loki?" he asked. I nodded at him not quite sure why he's bringing him up right then. I figured it out when he opened the sliding door on his van. A young man with black shoulder length hair that was slicked back, dark green eyes and a skim but strong build stepped out.

He smiled at me and said "You must be Mandy. Erik's told me a lot about you."

I smiled trying not to act nervous and said "Yep that's me." I was in shock.

Loki.

He was standing there, talking to me. I was in shock not just because I've got a Norse god in front of me but because I've got a super cute god of mischief standing in front of me.

So now I'm in shock and Kensi is beginning to freak. She looked at Erik and practically yelled "What the heck is going on?" I'm sure Erik would have answer but just then the people-who honestly I'd forgotten were even there- got to us. It was five Asgardians including Thor. He had shoulder length kind of wavey blonde hair. He wore very majestic armor and a red cape. With him were three guys. One reminded me of a musketeer, the second of Gimli from the Lord of the Rings movies and the third kind of looked like Jackie Chan but not exactly. There was also a woman with them. She reminded me of Xena.

Loki tried to greet Thor as a good brother who was sorry for what he'd done. Thor however noticed something none of us had noticed. Frost Giants. I know they're called giants but they were about three times as tall as Thor and he's not short at all. So now me and Kensi were both freaking out.

I don't remember much of the battle. I know Thor, Loki and their friends fought while Erik tried to get me and Kensi away from the battle. That didn't work to well cause one of the giants saw us. I'm not sure how but he knocked us out. The last thing I remember is looking back for just a second and seeing Kensi falling while hearing my name being called. It was Loki. I don't know what Erik told him about me but he seems to like me. Though I might be imagining things.

Author's note: I hope you enjoyed that. Took me a long time and don't be expecting daily updates. I can not do that during the school year.
